This advice also applies to business development, fundraising, and generally closing deals. It's easy to stew and agonize over an email draft for days and even easier for the recipient to ignore or blow past your key message once you&#

I hate to nitpick, but I can't stand this persistent meme that eating in the morning boosts your metabolism, or some such nonsense. It doesn't[1]. This idea needs to die. 1. http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myths-debun...

I agree that satiety from your macronutrient breakdown is a huge factor here. But some go so far as to claim you can eat FAR beyond your daily caloric burn in protein and fat and still lose weight. I have yet to meet anyone who can credibly
